The work of G. Dan Mitchell is the third of five prints to highlight from my Buying Prints from Your Favorite Photographers blog project.

See The Best of Times, The Worst of Times The drive in question that failed is my working “production” drive where I store all my files from recent photo-shoots and my Lightroom libraries. I was able to exper

In December during my last Sea Otter Photo Tour we witnessed some very rare Sea Otter behavior. We witnessed not just once, but twice a Sea Otter attacking a Western Grebe and then eating it.
